I am having difficulties in solving problem involved resolution of forces. Can you help me?

PHYSICS

Resolution of Forces
Diagram shows a man exerts a force of 50 N along the handle of the lawnmower with 10kg of mass. The friction between the lawnmower and the ground

is 15N. What is the resultant force acting on the lawnmower?

50 N

PHYSICS

Resultant force, Fnet

Given:

Direction of motion

m = 10 kg f = 15 N F = 50 N Fnet = ?

Fx = F cosq
f = 15 N

Fnet = Fx - f

Resolution of Forces - ANSWERS

PHYSICS

Given:

m = 10 kg f = 15 N F = 50 N Fnet = ?

Fnet = Fx - f Fnet = F cos q - f o) - (15) Fnet = (50)cos(60 Fnet = 10 N

The resultant force acting on the lawnmower is 10N.
